[Elecraft] OT - Updating Operating Systems

[Dauer, Edward]

As a once-smug Apple user I agree - updating the OS but keeping the same
hardware generally doesn¹t improve things.  This was particularly so for
the I-phone OS.  Some of the newer apps required the update, so I did it.
It made a mess of just about everything else - enough so that I ditched
the I-phone entirely and bought a Samsung Galaxy.  Apple made it
impossible to go back to the original OS, and numerous other functions
slowed down (a few just stopped working as they once had.)  The same
happened with the latest OS X for desktops.  On my charitable days I
suspect the old hardware just doesn¹t have the horsepower to run the new
operating systems.  On my cynical days I've wondered if it¹s a marketing
strategy - to sell new hardware.  Today is a cynical day.
